also came with 3/4 of a tank    
was bit of a long trip to south yorkshire from derby, but was well worth it  
   
 
south yorkshire to derby   good 30 miles there   3/4 of a tank is about 20 quids worth of petrol

mines a red badge and doesnt have air con. It doesnt make a difference what colour badge you have to whether it has air con or not

Mine had a blue badge and no air con... It was also rolling roaded at 75 bhp standard! and 81 bhp with an exhaust. 
 
Maybe blue badged ones = 75 bhp version, red badges = earlier model Sxi and only 65 bhp

I think the dial that controls whether you have the air hot or cold pulls out like in a similar way to the heated rear window switch on the middle speed control dial. It'll have a symbol on the dial if it has air con. I think thats how it works if you have it anyway, not sure!
